ABOUT US
Rittenhouse Square was planned in 1682 by William Penn and his surveyor Thomas Holme, making it the fourth oldest park in the US. Of the five Philadelphia parks they planned, it is the only one to continuously retain its original intent: an urban square to be used as a place of retreat & respite.
The Friends of Rittenhouse Square is a membership driven organization that works to preserve, protect, and beautify Rittenhouse Square for all to enjoy - because that's what Friends are for!
